"I’m C.J.! And whether you’re a student or professional, I’m here and eager to help you by imparting practical skillsets gleaned over many years of my hard-earned experience. Now, a bit about me: I graduated summa cum laude – ranking within the top 5% among over 3,000 undergraduates while taking less than 4 years to do so – from the University of Connecticut (UConn). I have over 15 years of professional experience including at a Big 4 accounting firm (as a summer intern), a then Fortune 25 company (within their then financial services business unit as an analyst) reporting to executives, and most recently, over a decade of experience as an entrepreneur/founder working on web-apps and SaaS.

I've mentored freshmen and post-graduation, I offered a few free college preparation seminars to several dozen inner-city H.S. students. And during my work as an entrepreneur, I’ve had to recruit, train and develop contractors. Collectively, this has resulted in experience where I had to train and/or guide others to achieve certain goals. Kind of like tutoring. And that’s why I’m here…I want to work with you to determine how my knowledge can help you achieve your goals; whether personal, professional, or both.

I successfully navigated the process of applying to college, exceling as a student, and joining a top company, so I can credibly advise in these areas. I also know a bit about business particularly analysis, strategy, marketing, and other areas given my performance as a top student and my practical experience in entrepreneurship. Tangential to these experiences are project/product management, as I work on somewhat complex SaaS projects, and Excel given it's THE tool for various analyses. I know how to use AI, more so than most, as I've used it to help my past developers code. And you don't do this work without being a decent writer and public speaker." less...
